What do you do on Thursdays?

We SEW!
A couple of months ago, some friends and I started a sewing group. We meet every Thursday night for about 2 hours and work on projects. It has been really motivating for all of us to finish projects, and it's a great time to chat!
Here are the girls: Vanessa, Me, Thais, Erin

I have made progress on some quilt blocks I started back in high school, and have made it through two big piles of mending (pictured here).

Erin has gone pillow crazy and has come up with some great creations, like these for her boy's room:

Vanessa made the cutest Red Riding Hood costume for her baby girl (sorry, no picture), and has also made some warm fleece hats.

This night Thais was working on a crochet table topper. She is now in the process of making her first skirt, and it is really cute.

I'm going to try to be better at taking photos of our projects to post in the future.

On a side note, Thais's mom sent these cute t-shirts for Thais to give to some of her friends.
Yeah BRASIL! (Thais is from São Paulo)
How cute are those shirts? Mine is a little on the short side, but perhaps I can add a band to it one of these sewing nights . . .
